lyrics

I was left at the side of the road
All alone in the bone-chilling cold
I was told not to complain
And I didn't till it started to rain
And the rain penetrated my coat and my boots
And the shoot was delayed
And I stood out in the rain all day

And when you called, screaming and crying
I was appalled, hopelessly trying
To swallow my pride and be kind
Why can't I get you off my mind?

I was hanging around with a crowd
Where the wildest of talk was allowed
And I said a couple of things
That have come back to haunt me in dreams
And my dreams are the dreams
Of a coward trying to hide
From a demon inside
Who has taken away his pride

Avalanches tumbling off the hills
Bury goodness under roiling, bilious mounds
My pathetic vessel drifts in orbit
With nowhere a friend to be found
Why can't I sink into the ground?
